Wow check out this thread! 3D printing is just jetting started:
http://www.ted.com/talks/joe_desimone_w … 25x_faster
Sigh. The cutting edge TED web site still uses flash video?
It was interesting, but I still haven't managed to figure out exactly how this is different, though the explanation of the dead zone almost makes me think I might understand what is going on someday :-), but now I have no idea why he claims so many more kinds of resins are possible with this. It still has to be something that reacts to light, doesn't it?
clagthink of it this way they have a semi permiable lens that allows oxygen to pass one way into the resin. that oxygen rich area which is very small prevents the resin from bonding when hit with the laser or the image to be printed.as the plate is removed you can print nearly continuously because the surface of the reservoir does not come into contact with the actual print. preventing the need for the machine to losen the print then move and reprint losen reprint.
This allows for a continous stream of printing.
Because we really need to be able to print those Yoda busts faster. /sarc

Yea, but some resin printers work by pulling the printed object down into the pool of resin and using the UV light on the surface, so I'm not sure why they couldn't be 100 times faster and print thousands of different kinds of materials as well (while needing a much larger reservoir, of course :-).

By using an air gap at the bottom they have greater control of the process and still maintianing speed
The thing Is resins can be made of almost any polymer. So in theory they could make a ferrous resin with nematic properties, we may soon be living in an all plastic resin world.

Are you kidding, nobody prints Yoda busts with SLA. It's all about the Eiffel Towers. The whole point of making resin printers cheaper and faster is so that there can be a tiny Eiffel Tower in every home.

Uhh, what? if that is true, then why are all the resins out there really weak? Why isn't there a resin with comparable mechanical properties to ABS?
I would not be surprised if the carbon 3d company also offer an exciting new variety of resins. The down side i see here is changing out resins. That is unless affordable spare tanks with the special glass are also available . Wait and see. I guess.

I bet they will be bought for the IP before they make an actual printer. The process will end up in some 30k 3DS machine.

And after thinking about this a bit, I do wonder how the heck you use a resin printer for objects that have big solid chunks that would get some sort of mostly hollow infill on a "normal" filament printer. Seems like anything like the infill would just fill up with resin. I think this is why we see so many Eiffel Towers and lacy hollow balls and such :-).

when you do a model for a resin printer, in most case you try to make the model hollow with some holes on the side to evacuate pressure (for big models) and liquid resin
COST! A resin is any two materials that when mixed together make a composit.. many are used in space and aeronautics but they are vway expensive there are resins like used for resin casting that are as strong if not stronger than abs. I have a casting thats more than 30 years old and its as strong as when i created it.
